The Academic Journal of Applied Engineering is committed to promoting the free and global dissemination of scholarly research in applied engineering, technology, innovation, and related interdisciplinary fields.
All published articles are made available online for readers, researchers, students, academic institutions, libraries, industry professionals, and policy stakeholders without subscription barriers. The journal believes that unrestricted access to research supports innovation, collaboration, education, industrial development, and sustainable technological progress.
The journal follows the principle that scholarly knowledge should be accessible to the wider academic and professional community. Open access publication enables readers to explore current engineering research, technical developments, design innovations, applied methodologies, and practical solutions without financial restrictions.
Through its open-access publishing model, the journal aims to:
Readers may access published articles directly through the journal website without requiring paid subscription access. Articles may be read, downloaded, and shared for lawful academic, educational, research, and non-commercial purposes, subject to the journal’s copyright, licensing, and ethical-use policies.
Authors remain responsible for the originality, accuracy, ethical compliance, and legal status of their submitted work. Authors must ensure that their manuscripts do not infringe copyright, patent rights, confidentiality obligations, privacy rights, or intellectual-property requirements.
Authors are also responsible for obtaining appropriate permission, acknowledgement, or licence for any third-party material used in their manuscript, including figures, tables, images, software, datasets, engineering drawings, technical standards, and other copyrighted content.
Copyright and licensing terms applicable to published articles are clearly stated on the journal website and/or within the published article. Authors are encouraged to review the journal’s Copyright Policy and Licensing Policy before submitting a manuscript.
The journal supports responsible reuse of published research while ensuring that authors receive appropriate acknowledgement and citation for their work.
The Academic Journal of Applied Engineering encourages authors to support transparent and reproducible research practices where appropriate. Authors may share relevant datasets, simulation files, software code, models, experimental protocols, engineering drawings, technical documentation, and supplementary materials through recognized repositories or institutional platforms.
Where research involves confidential industrial information, proprietary technology, security-sensitive systems, human data, or restricted technical material, authors must ensure that all sharing complies with institutional requirements, legal obligations, contractual conditions, and ethical standards.
The Academic Journal of Applied Engineering believes that open access strengthens research, education, industrial innovation, and global technological development. The journal remains committed to publishing accessible, ethically sound, and academically reliable engineering research for the benefit of the worldwide scholarly and professional community.
